Fitted furniture in Dorchester

Half the Boot Rooms and Utility problems we fix in Dorchester started as a sizing assumption. You are mostly dealing with Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages around here, so openings vary more than people expect. The other factor is exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, which is why rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock is the most common reason people call us. Our focus on this is surfaces and finishes that survive wet coats and muddy boots.

The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.

One thing that catches people out here: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

What we cover locally

Survey visits in Dorchester are usually booked within a week. There is no charge for the survey and no obligation to proceed.

Nothing in your house is square in Dorchester

Which is the entire reason built-in furniture costs more than flat-pack, and the entire reason it looks better.

01

We scribe to the wall

Every panel is cut to the actual line of the plaster, so there is no tapering gap running down the side of the unit.

02

We measure at three heights

Alcoves are routinely 20 to 40mm wider at the bottom than the top. One measurement is how you end up packing the gap out.

03

We finish off site

Sprayed under workshop conditions, which is a level of finish site application simply cannot reach.

Dorchester questions

What if the opening is out of square?

Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.

Is the timber certified?

All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.

Can you work on a listed building?

Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.

Can you price from drawings?

Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.

Can you match an existing profile?

Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
